Reverting a Release
Revert release clears all release install approvals, unblocks the release, and changes the status of the release from APR, REJ, DIS, or BAK to DEV status.
The status of release areas are not changed, and packages attached to the release are not automatically reverted.
If your release was distributed to one or more ChangeMan ZMF production instances, you can initiate revert release at the development instance and revert release at some or all production sites.
If you revert a release that is waiting to install, scheduling information for packages attached to the release is removed from the scheduler, so even if you do not revert the packages, they will not install. However, you must revert a package to change any package contents.
Running Revert Release
Right-click on a release that is in APR, REL,BAK, BLK or DIS status. Select ZDD Network | Revert release from the popup menu.
